The famed fifth hole at Crooked River Ranch is one of those any golfer would remember. Sure, you can choose to play the par 4 as a short dogleg left. But the bolder play is to make a run at the green in one shot — so long as you don’t mind playing the shortcut over the breathtaking Crooked River Gorge. Nestled along the steeply walled Gorge, the emerald-green turf and scraggly High Desert terrain of Crooked River Ranch present a truly unique golf setting. And the par-71, player-friendly design offers golfers of all skill levels a chance to fire a career best, if they are willing to take a chance or two. With a seemingly endless array of amenities and its spectacular design, Crooked River Ranch will remind you just how much fun this game can be. – Zach Hall
